Rumoured Asmir Begovic

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

8M and Moses? Fuck off, Just Moses straight up is enough.

How they can demand Moses on top of cash when Begovic has one year on his contract ? Unless the payment will be very small number or Moses goes on loan again.

Villas odds to sign Begovic have been cut massively today. They're 2/1 out of nowhere. They really do need a goalkeeper.

Begovic, at the age of 28, has won nothing and if I was him and such trophy-winning team came and show real desire to take him, I'd jump on that train. If he won't fancy number 2 spot for 2 years, he can then leave actually winning something and there'd still be plethora of clubs interested in him. I can't imagine that he jump now from one midtable side to another.

I'll take Guzan if they want Begovic that badly. The American isn't bad at all, he's a great shot stopper from what I remember.

Agree with this. Begovic has plenty of years left in him to move to a club where he plays week in week out. He can afford to give a couple of years to have a go at playing for a top club as that chance may never come again.

Moses doesn't fancy permanent Stoke move

Just give them £8m of the Cech money and be done with it.

[LondonsFinest 692]

Doubt he doesn't fancy it, when he isn't going to start here and he'll have plenty of game time there.

If true, it's a great example why player swaps are rare.

But I can't but notice that the article hasn't mentioned any quotes from Moses about Stoke transfer.

It'll come down to whether he wants to go to Villa and earn say 45-50k a week and play every single game more or less.

Or (if we do bid)

Join us, earn roughly 10-20k more per week, but perhaps play every FA Cup and League Cup game, aswell as CL group games (which he supposedly wants to play in) for example. But only the odd PL game when Courtois is injured

[termninja 5,290]

I think he could decide to come here actually. He's 28 and still hasn't won any real trophies in his career. We already tried to sign him (before he went to Stoke) and since then we've won the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and Carling cup. He may be regretting it.

He may decide to give it a go for a season or two (sign a 3y contract) and then move back to some other PL club to keep playing regularly.

On the other hand, Jose can give him FA cup and Carling cup games with a promise of fair competiton with Courtois.

Might just work.

Should sign Diego Lopez from Milan. And then watch Mou play him ahead of Courtiois like he did in Real with Casillas.

begovic knows he won't get to be the first choice keeper until courtois is around. begovic is a great keeper but courtois is world class

He wanted to come but Stoke blocked the move, he refused to play a Carping Cup game because of it.

Sky sources understand Chelsea are the favourites to sign Stoke goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.

Earlier in the week we reported Aston Villa had made an offer for his services but the Premier League champions are in pole position for his signature.

Did they happen to mention whether Begovic was keen on the move or not?

[Special Juan 28,122]

This would be a very good signing.

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

People said don't mind signing Falcao as long as Remy stay. I don't mind Cech leave as long as Begovic come right now.
